Suggestions for new vertical public space of the future city

People's physical patterns are composed of continuity and congestion in their space, which are created as a life realm by movements of people. Perhaps their history, present living, and future are reminded of regrets, efforts, and hope for various kinds of space. Were we born to live in the future? Probably. Our lifestyles have been endlessly influenced by the conveniences and the problems that are related to the preparative technology. If so, how will our lifestyles be affected in the future? Maybe we can take examples from many futuristic movies, science fiction magazines, and novels. Usually the contents of those are superficial but we can with caution predict the potential for new lifestyles and spaces as references. Through these references, we can assume several possibilities in this "future" city. We may discover and recreate new spaces and lifestyles for our future. The assumptions are represented by several suggestions such as "New Vertical Public Space" with new vertical circulation injected into assumed future city blocks. The "Space" would be continuous regardless of changes in time. It will predict how people fill in the space with a certain kind of subject and method. We have tried to imagine this future. Perhaps this will be not only a curiosity but also a big challenge to architects.
